Understand Mental Health Diagnoses

Every Manchester personal injury lawyer should own a copy of the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) so that they can verify any diagnosis that is given by the defense doctor against those in the manual. Verifying the diagnosis is very important to any case.

Request and Review the Raw Data
